UK's best supermarket Greek yogurts ranked by Brit shoppers including Yeo Valley
Which? has revealed which is the best UK supermarket yoghurt in a blind-folded taste test conducted by a 64 people, comparing well-known brands and supermarket-owned products
Yoghurt can be found in supermarkets around the world, and there are a lot of different flavours.
Despite the classic brands that everyone knows, supermarkets also come with their own products. In a survey conducted by Which?, a group of blindfolded tasters named the best supermarket Greek yoghurt, and surprisingly, Yeo Valley, a British staple, did not scoop the top spot.
A group of 64 people tried 12 different Greek-style yoghurts, including popular brands like Yeo Valley and Tim's Diary, as well as supermarket-branded options, such as Morrisons, Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda, Co-op and M&S.
Each yoghurt was given to the panel in a random order so they didn't know what brand they were trying each time. The final results were based on appearance (20%), aroma (15%), texture (15%) and most importantly, its flavour (50%).
Yoghurt is a good source of protein, which is important to incorporate into our diets as it supports the immune system. Greek yoghurt also contains a higher fat content compared to natural yoghurt.
The winner of the survey was Tim's Diary Greek Style Natural Yoghurt, scoring a 75% of overall satisfaction. The yoghurt scored the highest points on the flavour, with more than half relishing its tangy tartness.
The site explained: 'This thick and creamy yoghurt looked good and had a satisfying texture. It was well-liked by our tasting panel and achieved the top overall score in our test.'
Despite being the most expensive product, the panel loved its 'satisfying texture'. Yeo Valley's yoghurt is only available in certain supermarkets, such as Waitrose, Sainsbury's and Ocado, with prices ranging from £2.50 to £4.50.
Results: UK's best supermarket Greek yoghurt
Tim's Diary Greek Style Natural Yoghurt - 75%
Yeo Valley Organic Greek Style Natural Yoghurt - 72%
Morrisons Greek Style Yoghurt - 71%
Ocado Greek Style Yoghurt - 71%
Co-op Greek Style Natural Yoghurt - 70%
M&S Greek Style Live Yoghurt - 70%
Waitrose Essential Greek Style Yoghurt - 70%
Asda Creamy Greek Style Yoghurt - 69%
Sainsbury's Greek Style Natural Yoghurt - 68%
Tesco Greek Style Yoghurt - 67%
Just behind Yeo Valley by one per cent, Morrisons' Greek Style Yoghurt and Ocado's Greek Style Yoghurt scored 71% in satisfaction. Both brands received a high score on their thickness and creaminess. Sold at the same price, Morrison's yoghurt took the second place because of its tanginess.
Which? nutritionist Shefalee Loth explained: 'Greek and Greek-style yoghurts tend to be higher in fat and saturated fat than standard natural yoghurts, but these differences are usually small, so don't forgo your Greek-style yoghurts on concerns around fat.'
'There are low-fat and fat-free versions available, and these are fine if you prefer the taste, but yoghurt isn't really a big source of fat in our diet.'
She added: 'The healthiest option is to choose unflavoured yoghurts that don't contain added sugars, and then add fruit for taste and sweetness.'

How to lock your Nectar card after Sainsbury's shoppers have points stolen
Sainsbury's shoppers are being warned to lock their Nectar cards to avoid their points from being stolen. The supermarket was forced to introduce the lock function thanks to scammers draining accounts of hard-earned Nectar points. Shoppers saving up their points to spend at Christmas or on other special occasions have been left 'really upset' and disappointed to find their balance had been spent, sometimes in branches they had never visited before. The ease with which scammers can access Nectar points was revealed in January, when This Is Money revealed more than 12million points worth some £63,000 had been taken in the year prior. Despite introducing the account lock back in February, Nectar and Sainsburys customer services are still dealing with numerous complaints about stolen points. Experts have now issued fresh warnings reminding shoppers to activate the account lock and check their Nectar point balance frequently – especially if you're intending to save your points for Christmas or another annual event. Jake Moore, global cybersecurity advisor at Eset, told The Sun: 'It's especially important to monitor accounts more often just before Christmas as this is usually when criminals target accounts with points that have been accumulated over the year.' Consumer expert Martyn James said the majority of customers would be 'unaware' their Nectar points had vanished 'because we rarely look at the app or check the total on our receipts'. He suggested: 'Download the latest version of the app and activate the lock feature. 'But Sainsbury's need to reassure customers about why this is happening so we can shop with confidence.' 43-year-old Amber Shuker-Bright said she and her husband lost £60 of points. 'We do what most people do – save them for Christmas,' the mum-of-one told Metro. She realised something was wrong when she got an email thanking her for redeeming 2000 points in Brixton on April 12, but thought: 'I'm in Putney and I haven't even left my house.' The mum-of-one said her husband lost even more this weekend, when scammers spent 10,000 of his points, worth £50, in Camden. She did not know there had been issues with points theft in the past, or that there was an option to lock her account, saying this should be made more clear. Sainsbury's has refunded the couple's points after checking they were spent outside of their usual area, but sales assistant Amber said she is worried many customers wouldn't even realise they were victims, as they might assume their partner had spent the points on a linked account. She said the incident left her worried about how scammers got her details, and what else they may have accessed. There are no ID checks needed to spend Nectar points, except at Argos eif you're spending more than £50. A loophole meant that anyone with a user's account number or barcode could potentially spend their points, unless the spend lock feature was turned on. Last year, Cian Heasley, Threat Lead at Adarma cyber security firm, told Metro previously: 'The specific nature of this vulnerability hasn't been disclosed, but it could be that the attackers are conducting a brute-force attack. 'In this type of attack, malicious individuals, either manually or through automation, attempt to log into a customer reward portal using randomly generated reward account numbers. 'When they do not receive a 'no such user' or similar error message, they know the account is active and can generate a barcode scannable account identifier to spend the reward points. 'To defend against this attack, app developers should incorporate security measures into the app's design. For instance, they should require a full login or identity authentication to spend points and ensure that login portals do not indicate whether accounts are valid or not. 'Limiting the number of login attempts before imposing a timeout can also slow down brute-force guessing attacks. 'The attackers may also be using credential stuffing, a cyber-attack where hackers use breached account information, like usernames and passwords, to gain unauthorised access to other online accounts. 'To protect against credential stuffing, it is crucial that individuals do not reuse passwords across different accounts, enable multifactor authentication whenever possible, and consider using a password manager to store and manage passwords for various apps and websites securely.' In order to lock your Nectar card, you must download the Nectar app from the Apple store or Google Play. Once you have downloaded the app and signed in with your Nectar card number, open the settings and click on the 'lock or unlock spending' option. There you can choose whether to lock or unlock the ability to spend nectar points. Shoppers can toggle between the two options at any time using the app, and can still earn points when they shop even if the spend option is locked. But users aren't able to spend their points to get money off their shopping or other deals until the option is unlocked again. Unlocking should be instantaneous, but it may take a bit longer during busy times or in busy shops – meaning it might be best to unlock spending before you head out to the supermarket. A Nectar spokesperson said: 'Nectar is one of the UK's biggest loyalty schemes, with over 23million members. More Trending 'The security of our customer accounts is our highest priority and the proportion of those impacted by fraud each year is very small. 'We have a range of measures which detect, and in many cases prevent fraud, including our Spend Lock feature. 'Our Nectar Helpline team are on hand to support any customer who suspects they may have been a victim of fraud.'

Red Arrows make history with sustainable fuel flypast for King's birthday
Jets from the world-famous aerobatic display team were powered by a blend of sustainable aviation fuel, and used the vegetable oil to produce their trademark vapour trails. It follows groundbreaking trials by RAF engineers and logisticians. All nine of the team's British-built Hawk fast-jets were topped up with a high-ratio blend of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) at the team's home base of RAF Waddington, Lincolnshire, before they set off, in what is thought to be a world's first. The flypast is also thought to be the first time a renewable biofuel – known as hydrotreated vegetable oil – has been used to produce vapour trails. Charles has been championing sustainability and climate action since before he ascended the throne. A Buckingham Palace spokesperson said the King was not involved in the decision but was 'delighted' because he has been encouraging use of the fuel on royal flights where practical and hopes the example will lead to wider use across the aviation sector. Squadron leader Andy King, the Red Arrows' senior engineering officer who led the project, said: 'Ever since the Red Arrows' first display in 1965, the team has aimed to inspire future generations and represent the best of British. Using this technology is the latest example of our relentless pursuit of excellence. 'The flypast for His Majesty The King is the perfect opportunity to showcase this innovation. 'The vibrant vapour trails that we generate is what sets the Red Arrows apart and so to be the first aerobatic team in the world to move to a fully sustainable option is really exciting.' Minister for the Armed Forces, Luke Pollard, said: 'The iconic Red Arrows are one of the world's premier aerobatic display teams and by adopting a more environmentally friendly sustainable aviation fuel, the Royal Air Force is blazing a trail as part of our work to combat climate change.' The Red Arrows' 2025 season runs until October, with 60 shows planned across the UK and mainland Europe.
